Description

Near the large oak tree at the base of Phantom Rock, climb up a left facing dihedral past a bolt. A large roof caps this dihedral. Traverse out left of the roof following a short horizontal finger/tips crack. Additional pro can be placed here, though the climbing is not too difficult. If you blow it, however, you will ground. A number 0 or 1 tcu (or small/med nut) fits nicely here. Up onto a small ledge, clip the next bolt, and step left around the arete onto the face. Above this, climb the upper dihedral past two more bolts to a two bolt anchor. A final cruxy move past the last bolt puts a smile on your face as you top out.

Location

Obvious left-facing dihedral capped by a huge roof near the large oak tree at the southwest corner of Phantom Rock.

Protection

4 bolts (3/8"), additional small pro for the horizontal finger/tips crack beneath the roof.
